Resuscitation room interventions in non-traumatological patients and their evidence

Background: The variety of non-trauma patients in the resuscitation room is broad. Therefore, the necessary diagnostic and therapeutic interventions are numerous. Objectives: In this overview, the most common interventions in the non-trauma resuscitation room are reviewed regarding their evidence. For a better structure, this is done based on the ABCDE (airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and environment) scheme. Materials and methods: After initial collection of possible diagnostic and therapeutic interventions from review articles on resuscitation room care, the PubMed® database was searched for the individual measures and the relevant literature was reviewed. Conclusion: An overview of the most important diagnostic and therapeutic resuscitation room interventions in non-trauma patients are presented.
